Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 26, 1976.

The arms show the red lion of the medieval Wildgrafen that ruled the village. The rocks (staufen) and wavy bar (bach=brook) are canting elements. The gold and black are the colours of the Pfalz region, in which the village is situated.
